So I won this contest last month and went on an awesome trip to Whistler, Canada! It was amazing!!! I know you all want to know--so I will give you the blow by
blow!
Thursday--(oh yeah I won another trip to Boulder the Thursday before) left Idaho Falls around 6am--exhausted!! It was me, Brooke, Toye, Brady, Trent, Tory and Dan. Tory had to take a different flight than us so once we got to Boulder, we had to spend an hour and a half waiting for him...because Brady put the car in his name! nerd!!! Anyways--once we actually got the car and headed to the hotel all was well. Then we got to the nicest hotel I think I've ever been in!! Hopefully I have pictures on here so you can all see!!!! AMAZING!! Then we walked down to the plaza place and walked around looking at the stores. We also went and ate at this pizza place that was fun. Then we went b
ack and got ready to go to the awards ceremony, the event was called Winners Circle! We also went to a little lobby party thing where we got to take some pictures with some corporate people. Anyways- then we ate dinner which was also pretty fun. Did some dancing!! And we got Brady, Dan and Tory on the floor!!! But couldn't manage to get Trent out there :o( Then we went out (except for Trent--he was tired) and thought about going out but ended up going to bed early!!!
Friday---everyone but Toye won a $100 gift card-she did a massage instead! So we went shopping a
ll day long!!! You think that sounds fun, but not so much! Most of the places didn't have anything I wanted, and then I found this one store I really liked and there was a beautiful bracelet and it was the one store by gift card wasn't accepted :o( LAME! We also headed to Denver that day and went to the hospital to see if we could find a plack with Brooke's real dads name on it, but we couldn't find it. The funnest that day was in the car ride there. It kept getting really cold and then really hot and back and forth....and everytime it would get cold Dan would say "can we get some heat in here" and when it would get hot he would say "Its getting a little stuffy in here" and we were annoyed!!! So finally one of us told him to "shut up" but in a way nicer way---yeah right! And of course he speaks up again and all three girls start yelling--and then I hear these giggles from up front---oh yeah! Then Tory and Brady bust out laughing because they have been messing with the heat the whole time!!! Losers!!!
Saturday ---(Not that it includes the trips--but yah) unpack and repacked as well as attended the twins birthdays!!! Adyson and Adyn are 1 now!! woot woot!! oh yeah and I went to a Lua! funny!!
Sunday--more traveling
! Me and Mom headed to Canada!!! As we are waiting in the airport--Amy and Tory find out they have been bumped from the flight because they oversold it. Turns out they had to drive to Jackson, Wyoming and then fly to Salt Lake to then fly to Vancouver! But they got $ for their troubles!! Anyways- so when we finally landed in Vancouver we were all grouped together and heading to the buses but we had to get on this train thing and just as we were getting off some guy decided to rearrange his luggage and so I was trapped and missed my exit! So I just stayed on the train---hello! I'm from Idaho-we don't take trains! ha ha
Anyways-I finally received a call and was able to get
on my way back to the airport. And then we headed to the hotel which was also sooo nice!! That night we had a dinner/meet and greet thing! They had all these different vegetables that I didn't even know what they were! And it was funny because they were serving this gourmet dish that was potatoes with ham and cheese on them! funny!
Monday--breakfast was amazing!!! They had all kinds of fruits and make-ur-own omelets! and everything you can think of. Then we went snowmobiling!!! soooo much fun!! I had never been before so it was a lot of fun! I was a little worried about my mom because she seemed scared but she wasn't. She did good! We went for awhile uphill and downhill...and then came to this lake where I got up t
o 45mph!!! WOOT WOOT!! (or maybe it was kmph?--not sure). Then we went shopping around the lower village and got some souvenir stuff. Then we went to dinner with Tory and Amy at a place called La Rua. It was yummy!!!
Tuesday--day of olympics!!! They arranged this thing where we were separated in our different regions and then from the regions into smaller groups. We had 13 different activities we had to do. Some were trivia and others were more challenging---we had to do snowshoe races, a ski thing, we had a pen we had to trade someone for something better, create a flag, take a photo of people in the shape of the olympic man..and rock climbing!! Thats right!! I climbed a 30ft wall!!! That was awesome!! And....our region won!! holla!!! That night was the cocktail party and it was amazing! There was the red hot lounge afterparty after that!
Wednesday---we did a jewelry making class! We cut glass into different shapes (well broke it really) and then layered it in a design that they melted down into pieces. Most of my pieces are awesome! But I would definetely like another shot at that!! Then we also did some more shopping! That night we went to a ski lounge where there was fake tatto
os, caricatures, cd making studio, basketball and many other games!! I played basketball against Amy and my Mom and was completely beaten by both :o( I also recorded a CD which I was sad about--I honestly thought I sounded better than that--but in my defense...I had a cold!
Thursday--we did a cooking class. They taught us how to shuck an oyster! I actually tried one--eeewwww!! I don't recommend them! Then we also made a fish dish and a steak dish---sooo yummy!! And my mom made nitrogen ice cream! That night we did a dine around town and another after party---It all sounds fun and good but at this point I really wanted like a tuna fish sandwich!!
Friday-we headed home! It was soooo amazing!!!! The whole trip!
So yeah---other than that, I
've had a kidney stone for about the past month---not fun at all!!! I went to the dr appointment today and it was sooo annoying!! I think they are gonna shock it though to make it smaller!!
Well this is definetely long enough and I still need to put pics on here!!! So nighty night!!!
